With Lorrain Sénéchal and Renaud Dély, to discuss the news of March 21: Alix Bouihaguetpolitical columnist on franceinfo (channel 27) and Jean-Jérôme Bertolushead of the political department of franceinfo.

The themes :

– Melenchon vs. Le Pen: the battle for the “useful vote” to qualify for the second round. The two candidates are rather in a good dynamic a few weeks before the first round of the presidential election: Marine Le Pen is still the best placed to face Emmanuel Macron in the second round, ahead of Jean-Luc Mélenchon who is rising, according to our latest Ipsos poll. . The two candidates for the Elysée, who compete above all for the popular electorate, have the same objective: to siphon off the electorate of Eric Zemmour to consolidate his qualification in the second round. Who will manage to make this convergence?

– Is the war in Ukraine going to weigh that much on the choice of voters?
After the astonishment effect, and the rally around the President of the Republic, who jumped about 5 points of voting intentions in the polls, the war in Europe no longer seems to be at the heart of the concerns. The price of fuels, and therefore purchasing power, seems to have taken precedence. And it is through this that the consequences of the war enter the campaign debate. What will be the impact for the first round of the presidential election?
